There is a MEDIUM severity vulnerability
affecting CPython.

The fix for CVE-2026-0672, which rejected control characters in http.cookies.Morsel,
was incomplete. The Morsel.update(), |= operator, and unpickling paths were not
patched, allowing control characters to bypass input validation. Additionally,
BaseCookie.js_output() lacked the output validation applied to BaseCookie.output().

Please see the linked CVE ID for the latest information on
affected versions:
